The most common replacement locomotive became the GP38-2. EMD began production of the 16-cylinder, non-turbocharged, 2000 horsepower engine in 1972. Unlike the GP38’s engine, which drove a generator to supply power to the traction motors, the GP38-2s prime mover drove an alternator which produced AC electrical current that was rectified to DC to power the four traction motors. Another major change for the GP38-2 was the introduction of the “dash 2” modular electrical cabinet. For more than 40 years, the GP38-2 has worked main line freights, locals, switching jobs, yard service, helpers, snow fighting trains, and hump power. Many remain in service today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrowse more \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/athearn-genesis-diesel-locomotives\"\u003eAthearn Genesis diesel locomotives\u003c\/a\u003e, explore the complete \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/athearn-genesis\"\u003eAthearn Genesis collection\u003c\/a\u003e, or see our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/model-railroading\"\u003eModel Railroading\u003c\/a\u003e range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer \/ Brand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Athearn Genesis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRailroad \/ Reporting Marks:\u003c\/strong\u003e Milwaukee Road\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEquipment Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Diesel Locomotive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e GP38-2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e ATHG71741\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScale:\u003c\/strong\u003e HO\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRoad Number(s):\u003c\/strong\u003e 354\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eControl \/ Electronics:\u003c\/strong\u003e DCC Ready\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Operating Radius:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Athearn Genesis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67961032376394,"sku":"ATHG71741","price":182.16,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0565\/3066\/5546\/files\/ATHG71841_A0_QG8FXS4H_12a70080-cc29-4271-9420-7682e821785a.jpg?v=1794453475","url":"https:\/\/megahobby.com\/products\/athg71741","provider":"Mega Hobby","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
